  These 3 shots show Tim S. with a mannequin which Steve A. owns. The mannequin, Wanda, fell over during the ceremony and Tim is giving her (it) a hard time for creating the disturbance. Later on Tim told me that "Wanda had the only dry eyes I saw, and she was trying to cause a ruckus. I don't know her very well, but I think she is single and was a bit jealous. So I was just trying to remind her that this was yours and Kazuya's day and not be so stiff about it."

  After the completion of the ceremony and all of the congratulatory hugs and so on most everybody went away to tour Ashland, Oregon and give us a break before the reception. The first photo in this row shows Tony S., Kazuya and me just before we returned to the County Clerk's Office to take the Marriage Certificate back for official recording and for getting several certified copies. The 2nd shot shows Deb K. preparing for the reception dinner and the 3rd shot shows the recreational drug shelf - remember that recreational use of marijuana is legal in Oregon.
